Title: Large Milestone Achieved Post by: TorqueFC on August 21, 2005, 07:16:43 AM well well well
after a lot of mucking around, questioning and more questioning today we had the motor running:D:D:D we all still have smiles on our faces. a mate from 2 blocks away heard the sound and went for a walk to find out where the hell it was coming from, anyway he rocked up knocking on the rollerdoor with a smile on his face, trying to work out what on earth it was. i think after all of the mucking around and sratching of heads, it was definately worth hearing it run for the very fist time since its rebuild. i mean hey it may not idle under 4000rpm, it may suck up the fuel, it may stall whenever it feels but hey, its our motor and we built it and i think thats a prettty good achievement :D:D anyway i will take some pics tomorrow during the day hopefully to show ya's how it came up a special thanks to ken mclean for the stand, and also a thanks to fellow forum members who have helped out ps RET sorry if its in the wrong section, i didnt know whether to put it here or in rants raves and dummy spits Title: Re: Large Milestone Achieved Post by: Burnsy on August 22, 2005, 08:37:24 AM Well done Darcy, what cam specs did you end up settling for?
